After a lot of consideration, I’ve sadly made the extremely difficult decision to cancel all upcoming in-person events. However, our “In Bloom” event next Wednesday will still go ahead virtually. This has been the hardest decision to make, and I truly apologise for any inconvenience it may cause.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me and bought tickets, and to all the businesses that have been a part of the venture so far. Your enthusiasm means the world to me. Unfortunately, due to lower-than-expected ticket sales and the impact the stress of organising these events has had on me and my family, I feel it’s best to reassess the current approach and take a different direction.

In the autumn, I’ll be hosting small business shopping markets featuring local mum-owned businesses. I’d love to see you there, so keep an eye out for date announcements. If you’re a business and would like to be involved, please get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. The amazing response and feedback I’ve recieved about what Motherhood & Co stands for has been incredible and I’m looking forward to bringing you even better experiences in the future.

Hi, I’m Katie 👋🏻 Six weeks ago, I made the most daunting decision of my life, I left my job in an incredibly toxic workplace and decided to start my own business. My new venture focuses on hosting social evening events for busy mums and ‘in bloom’ events for mums-to-be, as well as supporting mum-owned businesses 💖

After a stressful few weeks the website is now live! So far, I’ve got an amazing selection of businesses listed, and the first ‘Mums Night Off’ event will be hosted in Cardiff Bay next month 🥂 It’s exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time

Please tag your mum friends in the Cardiff/South Wales area, and if you know any mums running a business who would like to be included in the free directory, please direct them to my page 🙌🏻

Can’t wait to meet you at an upcoming event 🌸✨
